| Introduction | Born in Yallourn, Victoria, Australia at a very early age. Studied classical piano from 9 years old until 14 when I quit. A few months later, someone played a Nat King Cole Trio record for me and I was hooked for life ! My other long term passion in life has been aviation which fascinated me from about 10 years old. Had to check out each aircraft which flew over our town and soon learned to recognise all types. As a small boy I went to our local aero club, refuelled, cleaned windscreens and as a reward was given many delightful open cockpit flights. Music was the greater passion so I concentrated on that and ignored flying until my 39th birthday when the decision was taken to learn to fly. The Commercial licence was gained and a Seaplane endorsement followed soon after. Very soon I was working as a seaplane pilot in Australia,and in what seemed moments, 20 years had passed and it was time to hang up the headset for good. I sure had lots of fun and have seen truly remarkable places, which is why I consider myself a bit of an authority on some of Australia's most interesting seaplane destinations. The photo you'll find is the open cockpit seaplane in which I spent 8 happy years. |
